Something it Will Pay to Consider.

Popular Science Monthly.
We are living under the reign of the school
master. The impulse to have children acquire
earning that can never be made available for any
purpose Of life is so powerful that it may almost
be regarded as morbid. For children to be re-
dueed to one common level, as they are in our
schools almost without exception, and to have
studies crowded upon them in advance of their
brain developments, are crimes against nature
which nature in her blind way expiates by pun
ishing the wrong person, but which those who
know the right should promptly expose. The
brain of child is larger in proportion to its body
than is that of the adult. A fact which is some
what astonishing to those not aware of it is that
the head of the boy or girl does not grow in size
after the seventh year; that the hat that is
at that age can be worn just well at thirty. In
the meantime the rest of the body has more than
doubled in magnitude. Not only is the brain
larger, but it is more exctable and more impress
sionable in the child than in the adult. At the
same time the structure is immature. What it
possesses In size IL lacks IN orlglnatlon, conse-
quently it is not at its maximum for severe and
long continued exertiOn, and when subjected to a
strain of this kind it is certain to suffer- The dis
advantages to the child of over tasking its muscu
lar system are well understood, and wise laws have
been enacted by most civilized people protecting
children from the greed of those who would if left
to their own devices, work them to excess. But
there laws for the protection of their brains
from the attacks ofgnorant parents and guardians,
the insidious warfare of the compiers of school
books who write treaties on physiology in rhyme
for infants, and the ever-ready schoolmaster who,
with the child, victim of pernicious system,
must carry out the behests of those set over him.

This Is Not q New Swindle.
Philadelphia Times

Another form of rural swindle has made its ap-
pearance in the northwestern part of the State.
The swinder visits farmer, says he is introducing
patent fence, and wishes to put up few rods of
the same on the farmers place to give the people
of the community chance to become thoroughly
acquainted with its merits. Furthermore, it
might be some time before. he would be able to get
his name and address so that he can send him
some circulars for distribution among the farmers
of the vicinity. Several days later the second
swindler arrives and notifies the farmer that the
machine which he ordered the week before for
building sort of woven picket fence is at neigh
boring station. He also asks for the 5000 due the
company for the machine If the farmer refuses
to do anything, having ordered nothing of the
kind, the "agent" backs down and offers to let him
out of the affair if he will pay the freight, etc.,
which would be about $40. The farmer has to
keep a stiff upper lip nowadays to prevent I'M
known frauds from robbing him; but it is pretty
safe rule to refuse to give signature to any man
he does not know. Honest strangers do not want
signatures.

The Women Odd Fellows.
indianapolis Journal,


Schuyler Colfax was the author of the degree Of
Rebekah. His connection with the order of Odd
Fellows began March 90, 1916, when he applied
for admission, and was afterward initiated into
South Bend (Ind.) Lodge No. 29, and Joined the
Encampment branch of the order soon after.
In September, 1851, he wrote from Baltimore:
awe have been busy beyond all measure this week,
working about eleven hours day, and during
every moment of leisure electoneering steadily for
my pet measure-the ladies degree 1t has been
opposed most strenuously; all sorts of objections
have been raised; all sorts of speeches against it
made; all sorts or attempts to stlhe 1t. You can
judge, therefore, of my qualification, when nearly
all of its friends had given it up as hopeless, and
when its opponents were certain of victory, when
1 tell you that at this moment we have carried it
by AZ to o."
Colfax conferred the degree of Rebekah upon
thousands, and in Dashaway Hall, at San Fran
cisco, in 1855, he conferred the degree on the
wives and widows of seventy-fve of his California
brethren, in the presence of over 1900, 400 of
whom were women. More than 10000 women
have taken the degree. To-day the "ladies' de-
gree" occupies position by the side of the others
of the order.
Schuyler Colfax always attended his lodge when
at home no matter how deeply he was engrossed
in the affairs of State or business and after his
retirement from public life he spent much time in
lecturing on the lessons to be derived from the
order

Can This be True l?
Neir York Letter.


New York merchant says that in business
affairs there is no longer much honor. He said
that the time when a mans word in COM
mercal transaction was as good as his bond, and
that verbal agreement was as good as the best
contract lawyer could draw. "Now it is very
different" said he; "every man tries to take ad-
vantage of the other and an agreement in bust
ness affairs is of no value whatever unless it is
reduced to writing" He took rather gloomy
view of the future of trading life and went so far
as to declare that the business methods OF the
present day taught young men to be thieves-or
what was equivalent, to take every advantage
fair or unfair, by which they could make dollar
This may or may not be true, but it is the pre-
vailing opinion Of those who trade and traffic. moi
only here, but elsewhere. 1t is shown in almost
every feature of commercial life here, and 1t Is
sifted out to the public by the newspapers in
almost every trial that takes place over business
transactions.

Bob Ingersoll's jug of Old Whisky.
NJ, Vail Would

A few days ago Col. Bob IngersOll sent an old
friend jug of very old whisky. With it were the
following lines in the Colones well-known chirog-
raphy:
az send you some of the most wonderful whisky
that ever drove a skeleton from feast or painted
landscapes in the brain of man. 1t is the mingled
souls of wheat and corn. In it you will find the
sunshine and the shadow that chased each other
over the billowy fields, the breath of June, the
carol of the lark, the dews of night the wealth OF
summer and autumns rich content, all golden
with imprisoned light. Drink it, and you will
hear the voice of men and maidens singing the
Harvest Home mingled with the laughter of
children. Drink it and you will feel within your
blood the startled dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks
of many perfect days. For forty years this liquid
joy has been within the happy slaves of oak,
longing to touch tie lips of man."

An Express Company's Liability.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently
affirmed a judgment of the Philadelphia Court of
Common Pleas, sustaining verdict for the plain
tiff in the case of Holmes VS.. Adams Express
Company. In this case the plaintiff got verdict
for the full value of lost package, although no
value over $50 had been assigned to it and al
though the plaintiff offered further proof of
negligence on the part of the company than the
non. delivery of the package. The Supreme Court
said, in giving judgment in the case If goods are
lost or injured while in the custody of an express
company, in the absence of evidence which rebuts
the presumption of negligence it will be presumed
that the loss or injury was occasioned by the
of the goods. In the present case no explana-
ton was given for the failure to deliver the goods
So far as it is proved, they may still be in the
hands of the company and withheld from the

Drowned in Shallow Water.--Wiliam
Fugit, formerly of Hereford, Baltimore county,
was drowned in Deer Creek, near Sandy Hook,
Hartford county, few days ago. For some time
Fugit had been employed as hostler at Clayman' s
Hotel, Beair, and on Wednesday of last week he
accompanied Mr.. w. B. Chamberlain, who lives
near Sandy Hook, to his home, intending to re-
main few days. He did not stay long, however,
and started to return to Beair on foot. 1t is
thought that in crossing the foot bridge over the
creek he became giddy and fell into the water,
which was only three feet deep at that point. 1t
is believed that his head must have struck upon
q stone rendering him unconscious and he was
drowned. The body was found on sand bank
some distance below the bridge and bore evidences
of having been in the water several days. Fugit
was Al years of age and was of unsound mind. 1t
is said he has wife living in Baltimore.

If the Shoe Fits, Wear It..
MARYLAND Journal.

At visit of the Trustees of the McDonogh
Farm School, at the farm on Thursday, 18th, in
an address to the boys, Judge Stewart warned
them to "avoid following the bad English of some
of the Baltimore county newspapers" The Judge,
no doubt knows what he is talking about. "Eng-
lish, as she is spoke" Tor written) is sometimes
terribly murdered out here. The Judge is agen-
tleman and scholar.

Judge Stewart Talks to the Boys.-When
the Board of Trustees of the McDonogh School
visited that institution last week. Judge William
A. Stewart, who is member of the Board, made
a very interesting address to the boys. Among
other things he asked all the boys who were going
to be farmers to hold up their hands? Not a hand
went up. COL William Allan, the superintendent
of the school, asked how many wanted to be
judges? Two or three hands went up. Judge
Stewart then asked how many wanted to be Pres
ident. to which there numerous response.
The boys were warned to avoid following the bad
English of some of the Baltimore county news
papers.
We know that Judge Stewart is close reader
of the Baltimore county papers and we also know
that he is fond of joke, but we think he piled it
on trife heavy when he spoke of the "pigeon
English" of some of the Baltimore county news
papers, none of which are perfect, we know, but
that some are better than others we believe the
Judge will concede. Suppose he tells us to which
of the papers he referred and thus relieve the bal
ance of the imputatiOn he casts upon them.
